horriable service
I install it twice, first time, it do not work, second time server just down after 10 minutes. Can't believe amazon provide those kind of service to customer.
Downtime is more them Uptime
I had taken Medium server and worked on it just for 2-3 extension for every 10-15 server is down
I don't waste time on installing it
Awesome Product
This product is well worth the extra money for yearly support. Install was super simple one-click install and had its own security group already built which is a huge time saver as all the ports needed for SIP out of box. Asterisk was ready to go as soon as the image was done spinning up.
Tech support was always super helpful and very thorough in response to questions.
